Currently using a bookcase. Will very soon reach its limits on space and weight. One of the shelves is already bowing pretty good.
Have looked around at maybe buying something. but most I've seen are bookshelf oriented.
So I looked up DYI solutions. Found some plans for a 2 tier setup similar to record store bins.
plans are included at this site.
Anyone ever went this route?

As for the number of records I have, IDK. I stopped counting years ago. I'd guess 3000+ with 7"s and what not.
I've also found looking at spines was an easier way to find a record vs flipping through a rack. So in that regard, I think its footprint is more practical than a record rack, especially in smaller spaces like condos and apartments. I guess if you have a house and the room, go for the bin, they look cool.

I also have sections broken out for Soundtracks, Compilations, Video Game Music, Broadway and Numero Group compilations. Those are also alphabetized.

OK Computer 97 EMI press, then the box set, then the 3LP reissue on blue vinyl pressed at Optimal and then another 3LP on Blue (US pressing), then the album singles, then Kid A 10" then Kid A 12" and so on.

Example: Constitution Hall Vault is after Yield. Hopefully this makes sense.

Buy another and keep buying more records.
Good point. My problem is we have a small one floor house. It's finding the room for another shelf that is the challenge. One thought I had was I have the TV in my office/man cave on a crappy old wooden shelf. I could maybe replace it with a 4x2 kallex shelf (if it goes on it's side, or maybe two 2x2 shelves). Put the TV on top, and then use a box or two for electronics, and have the other 6 or 7 boxes for more records.
I was just joking. I know its not always workable to just buy more shit.
